FREE ENTRY / Top Photo Awards - STRIKE A POSE: Model Photo Contest 2026

Model photography is an art of expression, attitude, movement, and presence.

In STRIKE A POSE: Model Photo Contest 2026, we invite photographers to showcase their most compelling portrait, fashion, editorial, beauty, and creative model imagery.

Whether your model is bold and fierce, soft and elegant, dramatic and sculptural, or effortlessly natural, we want to see the power of human expression brought to life in a single frame.

This contest celebrates style, confidence, and visual storytelling — from high-fashion studio portraits to lifestyle moments, beauty shots, character-driven posing, and artistic concepts. Every image should highlight the connection between photographer and model, revealing personality, mood, and intention.

Color or black and white, minimalist or elaborate, commercial or artistic — all styles are welcome as long as the model’s presence and pose are the heart of the image.
